Wassap boiiis,

I took a look at this mod and I really loved all the hard work that the mod developer has put into the models to bring the JP experience to ark.

After installing the mod though I was bothered by how unbalanced almost all the the creatures were. It made many of the vanilla creatures useless and broke progression through the game.

Therefore, I took quite a bit of time and wrote down the damage and resistence variables to put the balance of the JPE creatures at a more realistic level.

----Here's an example----

Krono no longer has 1,824 base damage and is now around 364. This is still high compared to the Mosa and MosaJP but is balanced out by how slow Krono is.

The Sperm Whale has the highest health out of all sea creatures at 5000 base health(unchanged), but it's damage output is now lower than the Mosa's.

---------------------------------

Using common sense, I did this with every dino comparing them to their vanilla counterparts and made them much more balanced.

! Important ! -Resistance changes do not alter your health values, they only make your dino take more or less damage. SpinoJP has 2,000 base health normally but it's resistance was set to .5 which will make it take double the damage. This makes it balanced with the vanilla Apex Dinos such as Spino and Rex which have around 1,000 base health.

Most dinos were changed except for some that were already relatively balanced
Other dinos unchanged include:

-Bosses

-UltimaDragon

-Goat

Comment below and I'll be happy to answer any questions you have on the changes, also if you notice a dino that still seems unbalanced let me know so I can check it out and see what it needs changed.

~Thank you all and have a good day! o7
